In the latest Stein Line, Jake Fischer revealed that, league-wide, executives expect a high volume of trades this offseason. From Fischer:

“It’s gonna be a crazy summer,” one Western Conference executive projects. “There’s going to be a lot of movement.”
“Trades are going to be the marquee aspect because there’s a number of high-level players [available] and there aren’t really any marquee free agents,” adds another team’s salary cap strategist.
